THE YESTERDAYS.

tell song Of the yesterdays,
In tones that are sad and low,
And the tale is woven of signs and tears,
OF blasted hopes and heart sick fears;
And many a voice from the vanished years
Thro' memory's portals flow.
Using song Of the yesterdays,
With the burden Of many tears,
And the song has the sound Of a funeral kneu,
That struck with the chimes Of wedding bell
And mingling, make the weirdest spell,
When echoing thro the years.
] paint a sketch Of the yesterdays,
In colors Of somber hue,
And the sketch is on canvas now faded and worn,
Whose warp and wool are the years long flown,
And the colors are mixed with the tears they've
borne,
And the tintS are Of ashes and rue.
dreamed dream OF the yesterdays,
That memory's whispers bring,
And the dream is of hopes forever fed,
That manhoods ardent fires fed.
All, age is requiem over them dead,
That only fe'V may sing.
But I'll give a smile to the yesterdays,
For smiles from tears are won,
Such a smile as viii dawn on young child's face
When Iooked-for joys Its grief efTace,
Or its fears, yet hopes, for parents grace,
With the rays Of the setting sun.

The Orchestra Drummer.

Have you ever considered the drummer and
the important part he plays in an orchestral?
The little boys always keep their eyes on him,
but grown up people pay him the least q: ten
ton of any of the musicians. Why, he works
harder than any of them, and il you have
ever sat near the corner of the theater occu-
pied by him you will learn what a versatile
man he must be to hold his position. He has
kettle drums. bass drums, snare drums, cvm-
balls and triangle to keep him constantly en-
ployed but these are not all of the incidentals
of his position, by any means Have you
ever heard him play the xylophone, blow the
bird whistle the rooster call, the cuckoo and
the locomotive whistler Every drummer has
these instruments to handle at least once a
week, but he has besides sleigh bells to jingle,
castanets to rattle, anvil to beat, tambournes,
bones, sandpaper and half dozen other
things to introduce on occasions. Sometimes
he has to combine two or three of them-in
fact he is the effect of the orchestra.
If he wanted to do so, he could throw his
brethren into irretrievable confusion. and to
show what he can do if he desires, see the case
Of Field Musician Francis Wild who has been
court martialed for funny offense, included

stationed on Governors Island and member
of Company c, and he effectually routed the
band in which he played. When Schubert's

WALES OLDEST SON.
Some Friction Over the Question of His
Observation-Disclosures Rumors Ahoat.

Some Friction Over the Question of His
Observation-Disclosures Rumors Ahoat.
There is said to be some friction between
the queen and the Prince Of Wales on the
subject of the latters eldest son. The great
question of his name has come to be pretty
well settled, and as the grandmother wished
It, All the papers now allude to him once
more as Prince Albert Victor, after brief
period of calling him Prince Edward, to
please his father. 1t is well understood that
he will be Edward again after the queen
dies, Just as his father will be when he as
cends the throne, but meantime the queen has
her own way, and he has to bear her name
linked TO that of the consort.
The present friction is understood to be
over the question of betrothing him to some
German princess that the queen has in mind.
Albert Edward, on the other hand, doesn't
want any more German blood introduced in
the line, and insists on the youth remaining
free It is hard to see whom he can marry
if it is not German. The question Of re-
igion closes the door upon most of the royal
families of Europe Both consanguinity and
national feeling bar out Russia, and there
are no daughters of a suitable age in Sweden,
Denmark or Hollsnd. e
1t is out of this situation that the stories
grow about scheme to select for the young
man an American or Canadian wife / sup
pose these tales are really absolute nonsense,
but you hear them very often-so often, in
fact, that they warrant the surmise that the
Prince of Wales sometimes speculates
whether this wouldn't be good way to en-
graft monarchy upon the coming democracy.
The young man himself does not seem to be
worrying his head about bride. 1 had a
letter from a friend the other day, dated from
a country house where party was gathered
TO meet Prince Edward of Wales, and it con-
tanned this paragraph: "Our future king is
nice, unaffected young fellow, at present
much engrossed by the amusements of hunt
ing and-rattingl Not rafting in pit, which
Is blackguard, but turning them out Of their
holes with feTets and having at them with
dogs and sticks, which I think is legitimate
sport" Thus one prepares to reign over the
British empire. Foreign Cor. New York

The address Of Captain F. ". Daw-
son, before the association Of the Ma
ryland Line, in Baltimore, on the
evening of the 22nd Of February, is a
valuable contribution to the history OF
the South. With the subject, "Our
Women of the War;" he related IN
impetuous language the noble part
the women of our Southland took IN
supporting the struggle for independ-
ance. Their trials and horrible suf-
ferings; instances OF persecution and
scenes Of savage ierocity, inflicted by
the Northern foe, were graphically
told in pathetic words. The speech
was an eloquent tribute to the virtue,
patriotism, and sublime herolsm Of
the women of the South. It will live
in history the grandest eulogy to wo,
man on record.

The premium offered by the State
FOR the best ten pound specimen of to-
bacco grown by those appointed to
make experiments in tobacco growing
in the several counties, has been
awarded to F, NJ. Rodgers, Jr., ofF'lor-
ence. The second best exhibit was
made by Alexander G, Clarkson, OF
Richland, and the third best by J. G,
Foster. of Lancaster.
The examination Of the specimens
was made by Captain E. N. Pace, OF
the Banner Tobacco Warehouse, Dan
vile, Via. Capt. Pace spoke encour-
asingly OF the availability OF the soil
of South Carolina to grow tobacco.
The average Of the lot examined, he
said, was great deal better than the
usual average OF first attemps. He at
tributed seven-tenths Of the failures
to the inezperience in handling.

The greater part Of the southern
portion of Europe has recently been
visited by an earthquake OF great
strength. In portions of Italy and
South France the shocks were even
more severe ard the damage done
greater than the memorable Charles
ton shake of the 31st of August. Over
two thousand persons were killed, and
thousands wounded. At Nice, the
Italian Reviera Montrose, Monaco
Bajardo, Bussana, the destruction Of
life and property was appalling, In
the village of Bajardo, which is a small
town of 1900, at the first shock, the
inhabitants rusacd in mad alright tc
! the parish church where upon theil
knees they implored protection. The
priests were moving among the terri,
) fed people trying IN VAN to calm
their fears, when suddenly second
shock caused the massive walls Of the
building to fall in, buryiug beneath its
ruins several hundred people.
A partial description OF the disas
trous calamity is published on the

canncn. It would have eventually
been stretched even further and the

call of the bugle, would finally have
come in for his share. The veto caus-

Republicans. They made a super
human effort to secure two-thirds
vote ofCongress, but the Democrats
stood firm and prevented the attempt
to make the bill law over the Presid-
ent's veto.
